About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am on a break from uni life but still want to spend my time emerging myself in the content (outside of the uni framework) and learn about other ancient medicines and therapies.
Chinese medicine, eastern medicine, ayuvada, yoga, Qi gong, meditation, meridian theory, pharmacology, daoism, Buddhism.
I've also spent the previous month traveling Singapore, U.K., Scotland (hebrides) Germany, Poland and Amsterdam visiting friends and family.
So I want to continue to laugh, cycle, dance, travel, experience new cultures, share, let go of old habits to make room for the new, listen, sit in the moment

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly considerate 27yo, I am social, laid back and easy to get a long with.
Currently I am studying Chinese medicine (in third year) but having a few months off to rest my study brain and feed my travel brain.
I am also a nanny and look after a beautiful (almost) 2 year old and when I go back to Melbourne I'll be with her new little sister as well.

I love going out for beers, trying local and new cuisine.
Walking through markets and finding hidden gems.

I am very interested in eastern and ancient medicines, pharmacology and cooking for health.

I love to cook so would be into learning some local specialties.

I am happy offering acupuncture, Gua Sha (skin scrapping), or tui na (Chinese massage) food therapy Or lifestyle suggestions in exchange for your hospitality.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
